Because their really isn't a discernible difference between any of the lower t13. Arbitrary cutting it off at 10 makes no sense.

I'm not really denying that but the post I was responding to said that lawyers always talk about the top 10 so it should be top 13 rather than top 14. There is some difference between top 10 and the rest of the top 13 in academia FWIW which matches rather nicely with the difference between CCN and placement at top vault firms. Idk if top 10 is that much off from top 6.

I’ll vote T-13, but I would have 100% picked T-10 if it were available.

I have always believed the T-14 ranking was odd, but then I read the history.....the same 14 schools have always been in the top 14. I bought into it‒but now this has changed, so let us get real with T-10. (Hopefully, they won’t place 11 schools in the Top 10!)

Also, no more ties, in a tie the school listed alphabetically is always listed first. Finally, when I say I am at a T-14 school, it sounds like I am going to the 14th ranked school. If I say I will be attending the 6th ranked school, most people will [accurately] assume that I am going to the 6th ranked school. C’mon folks, time for this generation to step up and promote changes that make sense!

Who uses the T14 terminology in real life anyway? Aside from the fact that (a) all non-lawyers, (b) most practicing lawyers, and (c) many law students have no idea what you're talking about, unless you go to GULC, you're grouping your school in with deeply inferior schools.

That's not anti-GULC trolling; I'm serious. I can't imagine a CCN person talking about attending "a T14" anymore than I could imagine a HYP undergrad talking about attending "an R1 Carnegie research university." I mean, the term is useful on internet fora devoted to law school pissing contests, but the IRL opportunities for use are highly limited.

Really? You aren't over this yet? You've been posting the same thing over and over for 2 days now. It's especially ridiculous to bump this thread again to say the same thing you said on each of the 3 previous pages.

Actually, I'll give you a little credit. You changed your words, just not your point.

Did you mean to reply to this post?

I ask b/c the other night I was anti-GULC trolling hardcore (probably a dozen posts saying the same thing), and you would've been totally correct. Here I'm talking about, in real life, how ofter do say (or hear someone use) the "T14" terminology. I'm contending that it (and T13 or T15, if they catch on) are useful on TLS, XO, ATL, etc., but not in real-world conversations, where you'd just say the names of the schools involved.

If it makes you feel any better, I can't see why a YLS kid would talk about attending a T6, either. Does that example make you more comfortable?

I'm not disagreeing with the point. I'm just against beating a dead horse.

There should be alot more advocacy on TLS for the idea that DNC is as good as MVP.

I think the problem is the acronym for Duke, Northwestern, Cornell (DNC) is the same as the acronym for the Democratic National Committee. It's gonna rub some people the wrong way.
